Inter Milan targets Nico Paz and Curtis Jones in summer transfer push

Inter Milan are in advanced negotiations to acquire Atalanta right‑back Marco Palestra, with the transfer fee reported at around €50 million including bonuses. The club have also kept dialogue open with Liverpool over midfield prospect Curtis Jones; Liverpool’s asking price is about €30 million while Inter have previously offered €20 million.

A parallel focus is the Argentine playmaker Nico Paz, currently at Como but owned by Real Madrid. Madrid intend to activate a €10 million buy‑back clause and then sell the player for roughly €60 million, a sum that could exceed Como’s financial‑fair‑play capacity. Inter view Paz as a priority and are assessing financing options that include the sale of several players such as Davide Frattesi, Ange‑Yoan Bonny and others, estimating a total budget need of about €110 million to cover both the Palestra and Paz operations.

Other market moves mentioned include interest in Oumar Solet, retention of youth forward Francesco Pio Esposito, and a potential loan of Inter U23 winger Issiaka Kamate to Granada. Overall, Inter’s summer strategy hinges on bolstering the squad while generating revenue through targeted departures.
